Dog-friendly restaurants, bars and cafes in Singapore

Updated on 8th June 2018 by Expat Living|

In the same way that parents prefer to take their children along to restaurants – even if it restricts eating options and causes a spot of hassle – many dog owners can’t bear to be parted from their pooches when it comes to heading out for food and drink in Singapore. All the pet restrictions and rules at restaurants may seem overwhelming but don’t fret, we’ve got you covered with our list of pet-friendly restaurants and cafés.

This lovely casual dining spot is located close to the popular dog run at Bishan Park 2 – between Bishan and Ang Mo Kio. It serves up delish brunch eats such as Eggs Benedict, so head over with your furry pal and enjoy your meal alfresco.9113 4666 | 1382 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1, Bishan Park 2

This cool, secret garden-style outdoor bar in located in the lush surrounds of Dempsey. Colourful and quirky, Green Door hosts various events, from live music to Sunday brunches and barbecues.

For the most reasonably priced bottle of wine across Singapore and a cracking pizza, head to Wine Connection at Robertson Walk.

This brilliant beachside bar and restaurant on Sentosa is a great all-rounder – you bring the pooch into the sea for a paddle, there are sun loungers for a snooze, big tables in the shade for a family day out and a huge menu of hearty seaside grub.6631 8938 | #01-05, 50 Siloso Beach Walk

Whether you’re after a yummy breakfast or evening drinks, Tanjong Beach Club on Sentosa is definitely worth a visit. Dogs can entertain themselves in the sand and sea, before retreating into the shade for a snooze while owners enjoy cocktails and a swim. Note: Under AVA rulings, all dogs are required to be on leash, even on the beach.6270 1355 | 120 Tanjong Beach Walk

Dempsey is a great spot for taking the furry kids, especially after a walk in the Botanic Gardens. Head to Jones for hearty sandwiches, insane milkshakes and staff who love pups. In the evening (or earlier!), we’re partial to a slosh of Jones’s prosecco. Note that pets are only allowed in the alfresco area.6476 1518 | 9D Dempsey Hill, #03-03/04

This puppy-friendly microbrewery along Clarke Quay is a great spot in the city for seriously good brews (in the beer sense, not the tea sense) and American dining. It’s a good one for guys who are down for doggie duty.6438 7438 | 30 Merchant Road, #01-05/06 Riverside Point
